PENGUASAAN TANAH SECARA LEGAL OLEH WARGA NEGARA ASING DI INDONESIA
Abstract
The existence of foreigners in Indonesia raises a need to have a place to live in
Indonesia. In the provisions of legislation in Indonesia, Foreign Citizens may only
own land rights in the form of Right to Use and Right of Lease for Buildings. But
many Foreigners are using the nominee Agreement to own land rights in the
territory of Indonesia. The nominee agreement is an illegal legal effort utilized by
a Foreign Citizen to have the right to land in the form of property rights in
Indonesia, which under the Agrarian Law the type of ownership shall not be
owned by a Foreign Citizen. Foreigner may also own land rights in the territory of
Indonesia by investing in Indonesia by establishing a Corporate which is in
compliance with the law in Indonesia and domiciled in Indonesia.
